Do you struggle to talk to your family and friends about your dream or online business? We did too so we grew our team online. Learn how to attract people to you to see your business grow!
Instead of sticking to what wasn’t working, we dug into training and tried different ways to build our brand online.
Within a year of putting in a lot of hard work, we successfully built an online platform. People still come to us daily to order or join our team.
We’ve learned it’s critical to learn how to attract people to you for a few reasons.
For one, it’s downright frustrating talking to one person at a time not knowing if your opportunity will even be a good fit for them.
On the other hand, if you have a strong online platform the right people will seek out information about the opportunity you’re offering. They will already want what you are offering when they find you online.
This means all of the hard work you put into building a platform will translate into major momentum down the road. If one person is seeking out the opportunity the chances are thousands of others are too!
My favorite part of being able to attract people to you is that you can be offline and someone still find your resources. Your online platforms literally work even when you’re off.
So how do you start to attract people to you?
It sounds too easy, right? I can promise you that all 4 systems work well individually and even better together. They can produce huge results and build crazy amounts of momentum. But it won’t be easy.
It’s going to take learning a little bit of technology. It’s going to take time, effort, and a lot of consistency. T
here is a reason only a few top reps in network marketing stand out on the web – it takes consistency plugging into building your platform to attract people to you.
Looking back, it is worth every single minute and challenge!

Above is an example of what consistency does – our traffic is shown from 2011 to 2015. This is from our other blog, and the only thing that changed from 2011 to 2015 is that everything kept building on itself.
As more and more people came to the site and the more content I provided, the better our results got!
So let’s dig in to what works!
4 Ways to Attract People to You
1. Referrals
Referrals are a quick way to attract people to you without spending a lot of money or using high-pressure sales tactics. The best way to ask for a referral is to reach out to people by commenting on their posts online and reaching out by private message.
The main thing is to remain consistent on genuinely connecting with people.
One simple reason to reach out to someone by private message is to wish them a happy birthday and catch up that way. You could wish them a happy birthday and then ask how their holiday, life, job, etc is going.
After catching up, you can say something casually like, “It was great catching up with you! Before I let you go perhaps you could help me out? I’m hosting XYZ next week before I post this publicly I wanted to see if you knew anyone that ….(your ideal client interests or demographics here).”
You can also ask for referrals in your actual promotion post on social media. Just add, “Who would this be a good fit for? Tag them below”
2. Facebook
Facebook is the main way we grow and work our business. We use a combination of free groups and ads each month to grow our business.
We start with a free group at the beginning of the month which leads into a private invitation to take the next step with a product or service.
After we offer the product or service in the group, we will also promote it on our Facebook Like Page with an ad and a call to action for referrals like the one above.

3. Pinterest
We attracted over 138,581 of our ideal clients from Pinterest in 2015. We did this through creating content and including an image with it to be pinned on Pinterest. Pinterest is such a powerhouse for searching for anything from home decor to health or fashion.
One really cool fact about Pinterest is that people using Pinterest have a higher disposable income than Facebook or Instagram. You can also use Boards and keywords in each pin’s description to help people find your amazing content.
Unlike any other social media channel, it’s easy to find content what you are looking for by category or keyword.
Pinterest is also focused around sharing!! This means people are already naturally sharing content and helping your information go viral without you even asking. Pinterest creates crazy momentum for any business!! You can see our best tips to Pinterest here.
4. Blogging
Blogging is by far the best thing we ever did to attract people to us!
We started our first blog in 2011. We hit over 6,000,000 views from people wanting to get healthy already! That totally blows my mind.
I am not a natural speaker, and it would take so many years for me to even talk to 5 million people …much less ideal clients!
These people are already excited and looking for more information on a specific topic, product or opportunity.
